"Dynasty? How did he get here? Seeing the people rushing in the distance, Zhao Yan couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that the person who came was wearing a head-catching official uniform, his face was full of beards, and he looked a little sloppy.

I saw that the dynasty ran straight to Zhao Yan's side, and after coming to the front, he saluted and said: "The lowly dynasty visits the county king, I don't know if the county king has time, and the lowly has important things to discuss with the county king?" ”

Seeing Wang Chao's face anxious when he spoke, this made Zhao Yan also very curious, and immediately told Princess Bao'an and asked them to go back first, and then asked Wang Chao: "What is so anxious?" ”

Seeing that there were no other people around, Wang Chao reported in a low voice: "Qiqi County King, Master Kong suddenly disappeared, and I heard that Master Kong had a close relationship with the County King, so I wanted to ask the County King about some information!" ”

"What? How could Sora have disappeared? Zhao Yan also shouted in shock when he heard the news, but then he also thought that since the last time he had time to listen to his own lecture, he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"The county king is a little restless, this case has just been taken over, and there are many complicated and difficult things to understand, so I really don't have a clue, so I want to ask the county king for news!" Seeing Zhao Yan's anxious appearance, Wang Chao hurriedly spoke.

"Dynasty, tell me the whole case, he went to listen to my lecture a few days ago, and we are very happy with each other, it is absolutely impossible for him to disappear for no reason!" Zhao Yan said anxiously at this time, although he did not approve of the relationship between Sora and Princess Bao'an, but if Princess Bao'an knew that Sora was missing, he didn't know what it would be like to be in a hurry?

"Yes! King of the county, this case is still the first to be discovered by Su Shi Su and Su Jucheng......"

Wang Chao said that he told the story of this case, it turned out that according to him, Su Shi had made an appointment with Kong to go out to play the day before yesterday, but the day before yesterday, Su Shi took a carriage to find Kong, but he didn't expect the monk in Xiangji Temple to say that Kong was not there, which made Su Shi very strange, because Kong is a very abiding person, even if there is something to leave, he will notify him in advance, and he will definitely not leave without saying a word like now.

In addition, what makes Su Shi feel even more strange is that he is also a frequent visitor in the Xiangji Temple, and he knows the monks in the temple, but the monk who opened the door just now is very faceless, and the door of the Xiangji Temple is also closed, and even the pilgrims are not allowed to enter, which is too strange.

At the beginning, Su Shi didn't think about reporting to the official, but waited until the next day to visit, but this time it was good, he asked people to knock on the door outside for a long time, but there was no one in the temple who answered the door, and the temple was also quiet, as if the monks in the temple had disappeared.

This time Su Shi finally felt that something was wrong, so he immediately reported to Kaifeng Mansion, because Likong is a famous monk in the capital, and Xiangji Temple has a great reputation in the capital, so Yin Fengjing of Kaifeng Mansion also attaches great importance to it, so he let the dynasty that restored the position of head catcher in Kaifeng Mansion take over the case.

As the first master of solving cases in the capital, Wang Dynasty has always been responsible for those very serious homicide cases, it can be said that where there are dead people, there is him, and now Governor Feng has put him in charge of a missing case, and he still feels that it is a bit overkill, but when he arrived at Xiangji Temple, he found that this case was far beyond his imagination.

The monks in the Xiangji Temple added nothing, a total of seventy-three people, but when the dynasty rushed to the Xiangji Temple with manpower, they found that the huge Xiangji Temple was empty, and the seventy-three monks also disappeared cleanly, but the rooms where these monks lived were not missing anything, and even some of the tables in the meditation room still had half-drunk tea, and there were half-copied scriptures on the table, but the owners of these things were all gone.

"King Jun, that's how things happened, all the monks in the Xiangji Temple disappeared strangely, and there was no warning in advance, and even there was no trace of a fight in the entire temple, as if there were monsters who swept away all these monks with a demon wind, but I don't believe that this is a monster, it must be owned by a certain force, but it can make more than seventy people disappear silently, this is definitely not something that ordinary forces can do!" The dynasty finally concluded.

"It's so strange that more than seventy people are missing at once, and there are still people among them?" Zhao Yan also frowned after hearing this, and finally asked again, "Dynasty, in such a serious case, apart from the above discoveries, do you have no other discoveries?" ”

"Qiyu County King, now the humble duty is mainly to investigate the case in two directions, the first of which is to pay attention to the Xiangji Temple, and seriously search the various rooms in the temple, but although the Xiangji Temple is not big, it is not small, and now it has only searched a small half, and the other is to check who the missing monk had contact with before the disappearance, so the humble duty came to see the county king." Wang Dynasty replied again.

Hearing this explanation of the dynasty, Zhao Yan couldn't help but nodded, for this strange case, the dynasty did choose the two directions that were most likely to solve the case, but Likong was just a monk who had no quarrel with the world, and he usually didn't have a grudge with anyone, so why did he suddenly disappear?

At this moment, suddenly a rider came from the road in the distance, and immediately turned out to be a man dressed as an errand officer, and when he saw the dynasty, he immediately hit a horse, but he was quickly stopped by Zhao Yan's guards, and then the errand jumped off his horse and galloped and shouted: "Head catcher, we have made a big discovery in the temple!" ”

"What discovery?" Zhao Yan and Wang Chao asked almost at the same time.

"Meet the county king!" This errand officer was very clever, and even saluted Zhao Yan first, and then replied, "When the brothers checked Master Kong's meditation room, they found that there was a secret passage under the floor tiles of the room, and now the secret passage has been opened by us, just waiting for the head catcher to give an order, and we will go down and check it out." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, I'll go back now!" Wang Chao said that he was about to leave, but Zhao Yan grabbed him at this time and said, "Likong is my friend, I can't ignore his disappearance, so I also want to participate in this case!" ”

"This ......" Dynasty was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, it is said that this kind of case must not be interfered with by outsiders, but thinking of Zhao Yan's erudition and talent, he also helped the government prove the inaccuracy of the blood test last time, so that many wronged people have been redressed, maybe this time they can also help themselves.

Thinking of this, Wang Dynasty also nodded and said: "That's the case, then please ask the county king to go with the lowly position, but if Governor Feng blames it, don't forget to say a few good words for the lowly position." ”

"Haha, don't worry, you Governor Feng is a good man, he won't blame you for this little thing!" Zhao Yan also laughed when he heard this, although the dynasty is a humble position, but after getting acquainted with it, he can be regarded as his own friend, and he usually speaks a little casually, but this is also one of the reasons why Zhao Yan admires him.

At that moment, Zhao Yan and Wang Chao got into their own carriage together, and then rushed to Xiangji Temple, but as soon as they walked to the temple gate, they saw Su Shi also jumping down from a carriage in a hurry, which made Zhao Yan also exclaim in surprise: "Brother Zizhan, why are you here too?" ”

"The king of the county?" Su Shi's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Zhao Yan in the carriage, and he walked a few steps to the front of Zhao Yan's carriage, "King Jun, do you also know about Kong's disappearance?" ”

"Yes, just now the dynasty found me and learned about the void, and it just so happened that there was a big discovery in the temple, so I will take a look." Zhao Yan sighed and said, "By the way, why did you come here at this time?" ”

"The king of the county doesn't know, Su Jucheng, as the person who reported the case, and is a friend of Master Kong, took the initiative to ask to assist us in investigating the case, once there is any new progress in the case, we will notify Su Jucheng, so that he can help us provide us with some clues." At this time, Wang Dynasty opened his mouth to explain.

"Yes, I also rushed here as soon as I received the news, but I don't know what I found in the temple, let's go in and take a look, it's too strange to see if it's empty!" Su Shi also said with an anxious face, he had trouble sleeping and eating because of his disappearance in the past two days, and now he finally found out, so he was naturally anxious to know.

Zhao Yan and the dynasty didn't talk nonsense anymore, and the three of them entered the temple together, and the messenger who reported the news had already rushed back, and immediately took them to the empty meditation room, but as soon as they entered it, Zhao Yan and the three of them smelled a foul smell, and they were caught off guard, and Zhao Yan was almost smoked out.

"Why does it stink so much?" Su Shi covered his nose and shouted first, he had been to the empty meditation room more than once before, but the room was always full of sandalwood, and there would never be a trace of peculiar smell, let alone a smell.

Zhao Yan also covered his nose and looked at the whole room at this time, only to see that the floor tiles of the room had been lifted, revealing a large hole in the ground with a diameter of two meters, the whole hole was square, surrounded by green bricks, and there were two doors made of stone slabs at the entrance of the cave, which had now been opened and hung on both sides of the hole, and the stench in the room was emitted from the hole.

Compared with Zhao Yan and Su Shi who covered their noses, Wang Chao seemed much more professional, I saw him come to the entrance of the cave without changing his face, and even leaned down to smell the mouth of the cave seriously, and then turned to Zhao Yan and Su Shi and said: "The king of the county, Su Jucheng, this smell is the smell of the underground waterway in the capital, it seems that this secret passage should lead to the underground waterway, but the underground waterway is intricate, not to mention the hiding of more than 70 people, even if it hides thousands of people, it is more than enough, this is troublesome." ”R1152
